Shiplap Fireplace Wall with Natural Wood Mantel – Chicago, IL

This project, completed in Chicago, Illinois, showcases a modern fireplace wall build-out with a clean, elegant design. Built using high-quality black shiplap panels, this media wall combines a minimalist aesthetic with the warmth of natural wood and the contemporary glow of an electric fireplace.

At the center of the design is a wall-mounted TV positioned above a long, sleek electric fireplace. Just above the firebox, a custom-built natural wood mantel adds warmth and contrast to the black surface. The entire structure is finished with smooth black spray-applied paint using professional equipment – not brushes or rollers – for a flawless finish. One of the images shows a close-up of this finish, highlighting the quality of the surface and the precision of the application.
